Abstract

PURPOSE: Metastatic peritoneal malignancies are associated with advanced diseases and traditionally are considered incurable. There are, however, new medical advances using intraperitoneal chemotherapy and hyperthermic chemotherapy, which are promising in controlling local disease. Moreover, cytoreductive surgery can act as a neoadjuvant treatment to chemotherapy. With these potential effective therapies, imaging of peritoneal metastasis becomes important for surgical planning, treatment response assessment and complications monitoring. The challenge remains in evaluating peritoneal dissemination due to the large anatomical coverage and no consensus exists …
